In the early 1990s, Wall Street witnessed the rise of a bizarre figure: Jordan Belfort. A young broker, not from a big bank background, but earning nearly 1 million USD per week just from stock brokering.

On screen, the movie The Wolf of Wall Street (Wall Street Wolf) turned that story into a symbol of a luxurious lifestyle full of lust and greed.

But in real life, Belfort's Stratton Oakmont empire was a sophisticatedly operated financial machine - where brokerage 'tricks' became tools to extract hundreds of millions USD from small retail investors.

Not just a scam, it also mirrors how the US financial market operated back then – when information was scarce, regulations loose, and Wall Street's 'gray areas' still wide open for those who knew how to exploit them.

In this article, Viet Hustler will explore with readers the real version of “The Wolf of Wall Street” – how Jordan Belfort turned Stratton Oakmont into a 'money printing' machine with a sophisticated pump and dump strategy that shook Wall Street.
